Rich Illinois Woman.

Except that Cresus in corsets, the
Chilian donna we read about, Mrs.
Meredith, of Cambridge City, is the
cattle queen of the world. She is now
in this city and 1 lifted my hat to her
yesterday. Mrs. NJ. is the widow Of
Gen. Meredith. Gen. Meredith, when
he was alive, was one of the pioneer
fine cattle breeders in this country. He
become rich as the craze for high
priced, imported shorthorns grew, until
in the sos and the early '70s he was
worth probably $4,000. He had the
Airdries, and paid out $4,000 as readily
for a bull that happened to be after
his own heart as more conservative
men paid out money for good lands
with houses on them. But the General
went broke when the craze subsidized.
His son failed after him, but the widow,
with all'her style and grace, had a bet
ter head for business than either the
husband or son. She took the herds
that were left and managed them, and,
where both men had failed, she sue
ceeded.
/ Gen. Meredith used to own $4,000
bulls and ran to 5000 calves. His
handsome widow has got over that
folly. She breeds cattle for money,
not for glory. The General. was quix-
otto from the standpoint of cattle men,
The widow is practical. The modern
idea in cattle-raising is to raise herd
and to breed it up until it has certain
distinctive characteristics-of fine beef
for instance, or of fine, rich milk, or OF
great beauty.

Cremation by ELECTRICITY.

A movement has been set on foot In
Italy towards erecting in one of the
principal towns an electrical crema-
forum. In this edifice the corpses will
be instantly consumed by means of an
intense heat caused by electricity.
Various European cremation societies
are reported to have despatched repre-
sentatives to Italy to make inquiries
as to the feasibility of the scheme,
which it is expected will, if successful,
/ very soon replace the more elaborate
methods now generally adopted. Par
tisans of cremation are sanguine that
the introduction of electricity would
instantly remove the objections held
by many European States against the
burning of bodies. Dogs-we presume
dead dogs-have already been SUBJ
jected to the process by its inventor
with considerable degree of success.
Their bodies forthwith evaporated
into nothingness, and there was per-
ceptible none of that disagreeable odor
of burning flesh which with the
present method is said to exist.

The Adventures OF Two TsrrytOwn Girls
In Nyack.

One evening Policeman Harris, of
Nyack, noticed two supposed boys on
street corner acting in a suspicious
manner. He kept his eyes carefully
upon them for some time, and when
they moved off toward the railroad
station he followed them. The officer
soon became convinced that they were
girls masquerading in male attire, and
it was evident from their actions they
were novices in the business. Finally
he overlook them and called themto
account, informing them he was an Off
Ger and could not allow. such thing to
go on. The girls burst into tears and
admitted their sex. They said they
lived in Tarrytown, directly across the
river, and for the first time in their
lives had started on an adventure, not
supposing that they would be detected.
They belonged, it was ascertained, to
well known and respectable families in
Tarrytown, and had donned their broth
ers' clothes for the purpose Of having
"some fun" They were very much
troubled over the thought of being ar
rested and their mischief being made
known, and it was evident that they
bitterly repented their actions. The
officer told the girls their course was
dangerous one, and that they must re-
turn to their homes with him, which
they was more than willing to do. The
ferrybOat had stopped running before
this hour, and Harris procured small
boat and rowed them over the river,
taking them to their homes and deliv-
ering them to their parents.
The fathers of the girls were so
pleased with the conduct of the officer
that they secured large boat, took the
boat of Harris in tow, and brought him
back. The girls were each about l6
years old, and in letter which the Off
Ger received from them they explained
their original plan. They said they
wanted to have some sport, not fearing
any unpleasant consequences, and came
over expecting to take an evening train
from here to New York, and then to
return home. They say they now real
ize their foolishness, and will never at
tempt the same thing again.

HOME SMILES.
Wherever the home smile brlghtens

Wherever the home smile brlghtens
And affection the home task lightens.
Few feet from the right path roam;
For love like dewlall tender,
Can pleasant all labors render,
And smiles are the sunshine Of home.
To the tired ont wife and mother
They carry Il JOY that no other
Reward can Impart so well;
To the children blessed teaching,
Full oft through long life reaching,
With an influence none may tell.
To husband and sire no duty
Can vie with the home smiles beauty
When the days hard work is DER;
To sorrow and disappointment
They come as n precious ointment
For spirits distressed and sore.
Show me the man who treasures
His smile for his outdoor pleasures
While keeping his frowns for home,
And I'll show you household darkened,
Where never an ear hath hearkened
With Joy for his step to come.
Then show me man whose rigor
10 reserved for his business vlgor,
His smiles for his household band,
And III show you home OF gladness,
Whose faces betray no sadness,
With love upon every hand.
These flowers Of the heart, then. cherish,
Lest, lacking thy care, they perish
As the shadows Of age creep on:
For home smiles never are wasted,
Their beauty and bliss. once tasted,
Remain. thou'h the home be gone.

BACK TO THE WORLD.
A Beautiful Young Nun Flees from y
Convent to Her Lover.

In 1888 Emily Lacome, coming from
one Of the most respectable families of
Maryland, entered the Ottawa Ladies
College to complete her education. She
was then IS years of age, pronounced
brunette, having a clear complexion
and large, lustrous black eyes, She was
of medium height, with well-rounded,
plump figure. In short, she was one of
the most beautiful young ladies ever
seen in the political capital of Canada.
just before graduating her father
and mother were suddenly stricken
with death within space of three
weeks, and the young girl found her
self an orphan with an inheritance of
about 100000. Being Catholic, she
decided to leave the world and follow a
religious life, and accordingly entered
the convent of the Black Nuns at
Temiscominque, Quebec, about year
and a half ago, taking the name of
Sister Williamine. While in college
here Miss Lacome met young man,
student in another Catholic college
and was paid some attention by him,
1t seems this attachment never died
out, as the young man, who was called
Henri Lapierre, after his charmer
Joined the nunnery, on more than one
occasion spoke of her love, and de-
clared the bright-eyed damsel should
still be his.
Her entrance to the convent was
against his wishes. She remained in
the institution nine months before tax
ing the novitiate's vows and by her
quiet demeanor and hard work came
prominently before the Mother Supe-
rior for ecclesiastical promotion. She
was a great favorite with all. On two
occasions during last summer she
Glanced to meet young Lspierre.
What passed between them is not
known. The first information the Sis
ter Superior had that her young sister
wished to reenter the world was when
the Archbishop here placed in her
hands an application which had been
made to the Pope direct by Sister Will
iamine and Mr.. Lrpierre, asking that
an order might be made that they be
permitted to marry. This was refused
and upon the information being con-
veyed to the young lady, she said moth

having wished to leave religious life

Fied to Lapierre by priest of the

was reported to the Archbishop and he
wrote letter to the fair young wife,
expressing sorrow at her action and
asking that she return to the nunnery,
after first coming to him for absolu-
ton. g
To this Mrs. Lapierre wrote in
answer that she was very well satisfied
with her present condition, and if His
Grace wanted to see her she could be
found at her home, but she would be
seen neither by His Grace nor any
other man except in the presence OF
her husband.
Catholic circles are very much excited
over the matter, and this has been in.

POISON IN the AShtS
What the Mt. Lebanon Shakers
FOund-Incident in the His
tory Of a Quiet Community.

York; Shakers are a quiet COM
munity, secluded from the fret
and worry of the outside world.
They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that ma.
ture has remedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acct
dent. Others came to light as
the result Of patient experiment
and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is a COM
paratively meaO disease, growing
out of the conditions of modern
life. 1t is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli-
cation lies chiefly in the disord-
cred and depraved functions Of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus:-"If we can in
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre-
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat
tiers which remain after the life
giving elements Of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys-
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. And they were right.

Of Shaker Extract (Seigel's
Syrup in less complicated

they resolved to test it fully
in this. To leave no ground
for doubt they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pronounced In
curable-with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed.
